| 20090263892 | Float valve for cell culture vessel - A cell culture vessel includes a housing defining a reservoir, an inlet and an outlet in fluid communication with the reservoir, a valve assembly, and an antimicrobial filter. The valve assembly includes (i) a side wall defining a passageway for fluid flow between the reservoir and the outlet, (ii) a floating element disposed in the passageway and configured to float on the culture medium, (iii) a stop feature configured to sealingly engage the floating element to prevent the culture medium from flowing from the reservoir through the outlet, and (iv) a capture feature configured to retain the floating element within the passageway and to allow fluid to flow from the reservoir through the passageway. The microbial filter is positioned such that air flowing in the outlet to the passageway passes through the filter. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090263893 | Flexible membrane valve for cell culture vessel - An assembly for culturing cells includes a housing defining a reservoir for containing cell culture media and an opening in fluid communication with the reservoir. The cell culture assembly further includes a filter valve assembly configured to sealingly engage the opening. The filter valve assembly includes a flexible membrane, a contiguous side wall, an end wall, and a microbial filter. The end wall has an opening and extends across one end of the side wall to form a major cavity within the side wall and the end wall. The flexible membrane has a slit spanning the membrane and is disposable within the major cavity such that the membrane sealingly divides the major cavity into (i) a chamber formed between the end wall and the membrane and (ii) a minor cavity formed by the membrane and a portion of the side wall. The minor cavity is in fluid communication with the reservoir. The slit is biased in a closed position to prevent fluid from passing from the minor cavity into the chamber and is configured to open to allow gas to pass from the minor cavity into the chamber when the pressure differential across the membrane is above a threshold. The filter is disposed between the membrane and the opening such that air flowing through the opening in the end wall into the chamber passes through the filter. | 10-22-2009 |

| 20090293852 | Emission Control System with Vacuum Boost - The present disclosure relates to a closed crankcase emission control system that includes an engine. The closed crankcase emission control system also includes a turbo disposed upstream from the engine that is in fluid communication with the engine. The closed crankcase emission control system further includes an air filter disposed upstream from the turbo that is in fluid communication with the turbo. Additionally, the closed crankcase emission control system includes a blow-by filter arrangement disposed downstream of the engine and upstream from the turbo. The blow-by filter arrangement is adapted for filtering blow-by gases from the engine. Furthermore, the closed crankcase emission control system has a diameter restriction disposed between the turbo and the air filter that is in fluid communication with the air filter, the turbo, and the blow-by filter. The turbo draws air from the air filter and a filtered gaseous stream from the blow-by filter arrangement through the diameter restriction. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20110047986 | Retrofit Aftertreatment System for Treating Diesel Exhaust - An exhaust aftertreatment system for diesel engines includes a filtration station, a NOx reduction station, a temperature sensor, a pressure data generator, a NOx sensor, a reductant dispenser, and a controller. The filtration station filters particulate material from the exhaust. The NOx reduction station reduces NOx concentration in the exhaust. The temperature sensor generates first data that is representative of a temperature of the exhaust. The pressure data generator generates second data that is indicative of a pressure differential across a control volume that is located at the NOx reduction station. The control volume includes at least one catalyzed substrate. The NOx sensor generates third data that is representative of the NOx concentration in the exhaust. The reductant dispenser dispenses reductant into the exhaust. The controller controls a dosing rate of the reductant dispenser. The controller uses the first, second, and third data to determine the dosing rate. | 03-03-2011 |
